The President/CEO of Austin Peoples Action Center or APAC, Cynthia Williams, says, "Juneteenth helps connect generations to the past and present and frankly helps us reclaim our identity. It's a continuous reminder of who we are in our great country. Celebrating Juneteenth is our way of recognizing our unique place in America and sharing who we are with everyone. Our motto is "_Passing the Torch to a Younger Generation_this year." During this holiday, we aim to enlighten, elevate and empower."

So, how do we celebrate? What do we do? There will be musical concerts and festivals throughout the land. There will be all-day Black movies on television. There will be special church services. There will be seminars. There will even be unique products at retail outlets. Walmart has already had pushback on the holiday ice cream they created for their shelves. The day is commonly called a day of "freedom." Mr. Bernard Do, and Sunday, June 19, from noon to 3 in Columbus Park to celebrate.

“It was all a dream” reads the glowing neon words etched on a wall inside the Dream Center at 5927 W. Chicago Avenue.

The business center, located in Austin’s Soul City Corridor, aims to help entrepreneurs go beyond dreaming and bring their business ideas to reality.

“It all starts with a dream and an idea, but sometimes people just don’t know how to turn those dreams into a reality. So we want to take the guesswork out of it,” said Marseil Jackson, the Dream Center’s CEO. “We’re trying to help as many people as we can. It’s all about economic development.”

The Dream Center is a co-working space that offers business support services; there are membership packages to assist both established businesses and those just starting out.

Some of their support offerings include consulting, grant writing, social media marketing, graphic design and “business in a box”— a service that includes everything needed to launch a business. The center also offers virtual offices, virtual assistants and business phone lines.

“There are so many entrepreneurs in Austin, at-home business owners that don’t need an office space, don’t need a commercial space, but they also shouldn’t be doing business out of their home,” Jackson said.

“There’s a lot of liability that you run into when you’re running your business out of home. You don’t get the access to capital that you deserve or should have access to when you’re running a business and using a home address.”

The Dream Center currently works with 39 businesses, some located on-site and others making use of virtual services.

On-site members have access to dedicated desks, private offices, the conference/training room, a backyard patio, and the opportunity to collaborate and work with other entrepreneurs.

Nyela Malone, CEO and clinical director of Lotus Healing LLC, uses the Dream Center as a West Side location for her private therapy practice.

“I think it’s great for new businesses because it puts them in a space where they can connect with others to gain networking opportunities and possibly resources, and coordinate the exchange of goods and services,” Malone said.

“We [Lotus Therapy] also work with business owners, because everybody’s mental health needs are important. So it’s been an incredible opportunity, because I’ve been able to connect with other people that can benefit from the services...

Event description
This is a open forum for Young people in the community and Youth who are on probation, parole, or formerly incarcerated.

On Friday October 16th, 2020 at 1:00pm CST, we want to galvanize the voter registration of Youth ages 18 (by Nov. 3rd 2020) and older, by offering young people a forum to express their voice on how to motivate change in the community.

We will provide voter education to youth, teach young people how to exercise their rights, help youth apply for volunteer and paid voting job opportunities, encourage leadership and activism amongst Young leaders.

This is a collaboration between Community Youth, and Community Organizations who support the advancement of Black and Minority Youth. This discussion will open doors of accountability and Peer Mentorship opportunities.

This is a statewide Call to Action to Give Youth A Voice by Exercising their Right To Vote.
